Win Min error message and IE home page redirect

Bring up Task Manager by hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL and select processes. Find the below process and end it:
dllhlp.exe

Now Run HijackThis and put check marks on the following lines but do not click fix until you exit all your Internet Explorer browsers sessions (including the one you are reading this message in):
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://any-find.com/sp.htm
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://any-find.com/index.htm
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://any-find.com/index.htm
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.dellnet.com
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://any-find.com/sp.htm
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://any-find.com/index.htm
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [dllhelp] c:\windows\dllhlp.exe
The exit HijackThis and Reset Web Settings by opening Internet Explorer. Then click Tools, Internet Options, Programs, and click the Reset Web Settings button. Then go back to the General tab and set your home page back to http://www.dellnet.com (I assumed that is what you wanted.)

Now run Windows Explorer and locate the below file and delete it:
C:\windows\dllhlp.exe

Now reboot normal mode and let me know how things are working.

 

Delete that file from Prefetch too and as a good measure empty your Recylce Bin too.

You do not need to run things daily but it won't hurt you if you have time to waste. I would say weekly scans are more than enough unless you surf a lot. HijackThis is not necessary. It does not fix anything. It only displays information that expert users can use to find problems. If you know how to interprete good from bad, it can be useful. If not, you could damage things by using it incorrectly. On the otherhand, you could save a current reference log and periodically compare against it for changes.

Get SpywareBlaster to block stuff from getting on your PC to begin with.

 

Normal mode should work!
